You would realize that inconvenience keenly, but you make the same motion and suffer the same inconvenience when you look into an oven that is below the surface of the burners. With gas as a fuel it has been possible to put the ovens of the range on the easy level where you can reach them without effort, watch your baking comfortably and save time. Remember, then, when you buy a gas range you will have a time and strength saver in a cab­ inet range. Western United Gas gmfe '-sSfraocJ Electric Compar)/ -o D. M.
